Pic is how I feel acquiring more software to replace my Big Tech dependency.

(Not all services could be listed here, obviously. Just the ones I personally use)

    Am I missing something? You haven’t listed anything.

    Edit: yes. I am. I’m missing a brain. 🙃

      Lucky for you, it can be self hosted, too! Make sure to use BrainX Revamped, the original BrainX is already deprecated and had lots of bugs. beRAIN tried to continue the original and had a working prototype without using two hemispheres, but it sadly didn’t take off and is not maintained. There are more forks of original BX and BXR, so choose your flavor, but beware of the cloud one by Oracle that was forked before the license change and made closed source.

          Ye, I’ve looked into that one, too. It neatly integrates with lungarr and eyearr, but the stack does not feel complete yet - needs someone to finish bodyarr to wrap it all in one seamless package and ship that, but the developer drama whether the logo should be orange or green is holding it all up. I’ll use an all in one for now and see where it goes.

      I’m higher than a giraffe’s butthole, so I got to know: Exactly what were you staring at when you opened the picture? I kid of course, but I found that quite risible.

    So what services are pictured here?
    I see:

    • Messaging: Signal & Matrix
    • OpenWRT & something?
    • Search: SearchXNG
    • OS: Linux
    • Downloads: Qbittorrent
    • Fediverse, to connect them all

    All just one puny little squeaky C&D letter away from shutdown apparently, probably.

      What do you mean by this? I am assuming it has something to do with the torrenting, but don’t most people just use VPNs these days?

        like nitter and xcancel got a musky cease and desist letter and they promptly closed the service and the repository.

        If any corporation decides any software is hurting their bottom line, anything is fair game to them.

          While I agree that sucked hard, it’s not exactly a like comparison to the software in OP.

            No, not exactly like.

            Linux: any distro not implementing age verification becomes illegal

            Searx: search engines already implement captchas and ridiculous rate limits.

            Fediverse: inconvenient node operators can be categorized as terrorists, like the italian anarchists who were providing web services.

            Signal will just buzz off countries implementing backdoors. Until it’s not put next to Encrochat. Same with GrapheneOS.

            US already banned routers. Those should be entirely provided by ISPs only at some point.
